Pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273. The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, has a disk that is distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)

A kind of supernova called a Type Ia created a remnant named SNR 0509-67.5, which lies 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy. Credit: NASA, ESA, CXC, SAO, the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA), and J. Hughes (Rutgers University)

This bubble of gas, called SNR 0509-67.5, is the remnant of a supernova in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy about 160,000 light-years from Earth. Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA); Acknowledgment: J. Hughes (Rutgers University)

The dwarf galaxy NGC 4214 is ablaze with young stars and gas clouds. It is located about 10 million light-years away in the constellation of Canes Venatici (The Hunting Dogs). Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration

The bipolar star-forming region, called Sharpless 2-106, looks like a celestial snow angel. Twin lobes of super-hot gas, the “wings” in this image, stretch outward from the central star. Credit: NASA, ESA, and the Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)

The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center manages the telescope.
